So yea, can we have travel insurance go back to the old opt-in method? (Or am I imagining things?)
Glad I read this post before I made some bookings tonight^
Seems that this feature has returned, IIRC this happend when the insurance feature became operational then was dropped.
I guess a good bit of additional revenue for NZ, and to be fair it is clearly marked at the purchase screen....
My vote. Return it back to "opt in" setting.
